see what intrigues me about college isn’t the intellectual pursuit or the bonding or whatever, its the fact that people have the freedom to do random shit like this

Okay, everybody, I have a story about random shit in college. When I was in college, there was a particular class I took where, no matter what time you walked into class, if you made it into the room before the professor, you wouldn’t be counted late. I mean, that’s a pretty cool policy, given how some professors are really obnoxious about attendance.

Well, one time, a fellow student of mine was running late to class. As she reached the edge of the building, she saw her professor making it to the front steps (super long rectangular building here). He looks up from walking and he sees her. He then points to his watch, gives her a well-meaning “Look who’s late” face, and walks on inside.

What he didn’t know, though, was that this particular student was like freakishly good at bouldering and related climbing skills, so she was just like “Fuck it” and SCALED THE BUILDING!

She tapped on the window of the 4th floor classroom (the floors had like 20ft ceilings, so, she was quite a ways up there), nearly making one student piss himself. They opened the window, she rolled through, onto the floor, and slid into her seat about five seconds before the professor opened the door to the classroom.

He did a double take, started to say “How the hell d—” when a security guard ran in, red-faced and panting, pointed at her and bellowed “STOP DOING THAT!”

omfg the amount of fucks college kids don’t give astounds me

IVE ONLY SEEN THIS POST IN SCREENSHOTS

I LOVE THE IMPLICATION THAT THIS STUDENT HAS A REPUTATION FOR SCALING THE BUILDINGS

We once had a baconpocalypse where me and about 10 friends grilled assorted meats, unauthorized, in the school cafeteria/commons using borrowed/thrift-store’d griddles and electric grills, and literally bribed the security guards with meat.

We also had a school-wide zombie Nerf-war that was amazingly fun, and technically unauthorized. There were no less than 200 participants.

I’ve also managed to rope in both faculty and security into games of D&D playing as NPC’s, on the fly, because they stopped us and asked us what we were doing.

I am of the firm belief that college should be equal parts education and chicanery; I’m a firm believer in that, and in a mild amount of antagonism between academic authority and the students under their mentor-ship.
